Version is an esoteric programming language based on the concept of ignorance-spaces. An ignorance-space is represented by a pattern (irregular expression.) All instructions in a Version program have a tag or label. Instructions with labels which match the current ignorance-space are ignored. Other instructions are executed sequentially. When the last instruction is reached, execution wraps around to the beginning of the program. The only way to halt a program is to put it in a state in which all instructions will be ignored.
Other than this ignorance-space, there are no jumping or conditional execution mechanisms in Version.
